Esther Mathis uses light not as an instrument of sight, but as a field in which she generates the loss and disappearance of her subjects, or cultivates their possible, sometimes disturbing, re-appearance. “Being blind in a white world where light does not help to see” in the fog which covers the distant subjects of remote landscapes, is a condition for the establishment of relationships, feelings, suspended participations and subtle losses of consciousness. Snow is a metaphor for solitude and the inner condition of waiting, just as the body, immersed in complete darkness, sinks into a slow and inexorable disappearance of the visible. It is to create emptiness to start all over again, or to lose oneself and disappear forever along the path of total whiteness, into abolute darkness.
